Brady Myers
I can still remember ten years ago, my five-year-old self watching the light peak through the Pennsylvania timber as my awe was quickly broken by the sound of my dad saying, “Boy if you don’t learn to pick your feet up, we aren’t going to see a single thing this morning!” I’m glad I listened because an hour and a half later I was shaking so bad my dad had to pull the crossbow out of my trembling hands; watching my first whitetail buck tip over within plain sight. I was hooked. At the age of eight, I became relentless in practicing with my bow in hopes that I could make it out that next September with my bow in hand. Since that time, I have harvested 49 whitetail deer,7 turkeys,1 bison,1 antelope,1 Mule deer, and more small game with a compound bow than I can even count.
My love for the using a bow in the outdoors, quickly expanded into a year-round hobby for me when I became a member of the Pennsylvania State Archery Association, better known as the PSAA. Within one year I had my first State Championship under my belt. That next year, my dad took me to a particular coach that saw a lot of potential in me, Mr. Larry Wise. He recommended I upgrade my equipment, and soon after I had a brand-new PSE target bow in my hands. After multiple years of not losing a Pennsylvania State Championship, I was asked by the President of the PSAA if I wanted to try a National event with the NFAA. In 2015, I found a lot of success after joining the NFAA, but I was still yearning for more competition. After shooting the IBO circuit for one year, I fell in love with 3D. This came to no surprise for me as this all began with picking up my feet on that cool September morning a decade ago. My aspiration for this sport only grows stronger and stronger with each season. My dream of becoming a professional archer has not drifted away as I have gotten into high school, but rather comes into my head much more frequently than it ever has before. I have had the most amazing experiences with a bow in my hand, and I cannot wait to continue down this road.
